Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the cluster synchronization problem for networks with nonlinearly coupled nonidentical dynamical systems and asymmetrical coupling matrix by using pinning control. We derive sufficient conditions for cluster synchronization for any initial values through a feedback scheme and propose an adaptive feedback algorithm that adjusts the coupling strength. Some numerical examples are then given to illustrate the theoretical results.
